Boeroer

I didn't have the impressing that OP was searching for a solo build. Another nice thing with battle axes + bleeding cuts in general is Barbaric Retaliation - because attack speed doesn't matter at all. So so single Barb is an option as well. Also because of HoF of course. Plus you'll do double Carnage. I think the Amra Carnage can crit (?) and will thus work with Blood Frenzy in an AoE. If not: double chance for Staggering with Spirit Frenzy is nice as well.

To be fair: the editing process is rather complicated and obscure for beginners - because of the datatables that are used in this particular wiki - and also the formatting is a bit of a hindrance. I personally like very simple wikis (see Dokuwiki) because for me it's about the info and easy access - not the looks. But I get why a game like PoE etc. might need a more fancy look than plain black text on white background.

Nice. I'm on Christmas vacation with the family right now without computer. It's very hard to edit the build list on phone so I hope it's ok when I do it after I come back (Jan. 7 or so).

Nice combo with PoEora and Forbidden Fist! I'm on Christmas vacation with the family right now without computer. It's very hard to edit the build list on phone so I hope it's ok when I do it after I come back (Jan. 7 or so).

The upgrade that kills <50hp enemies can be good because usually it's very difficult to reach 50 dmg with those "Carnage-like" attacks.

Same concept. You look up the spell damage, casting time and recovery. I guess it would be a rel. easy mod to display the dps numbers in the ability description or so.

You need Serafen in the party to get them both. The first one is his starting weapon and the second one comes from his questline.

Yes, they stack. But keep in mind that attack speed bonuses don't stack additively. Also keep in mind that the strength of the wards isn't their effect on you but that they can put that effect on the whole party (on in case of the fear ward to a lot of enemies). I personally think that Barb/any caster is fun because of the high cast speed (Attack Speed bonuses are esp. nice for spells with long casting times). But my favorite would be a Furyshaper/Troubadour - because you can have 3+ parallel AoE "auras" at once and since the casting of the wards takes some time you can as well generate phrase while doing it. And the,when it's "casting time" the high Attack speed is nice for an invocation.

Ha! Nice!

But then nobody will know you did it.

Dps = damage per second. You take the damage that is displayed in the char sheet, you take the attack time and recovery time and calculate your dps: 40-50 dmg (average 45), 0.5 sec attack time and 4 sec recovery time. That's 45/4.5 = 10 dps. Nobel prize, here I come!

Yeah, it's a wiki. You can make an account and insert/edit stuff. It's free.

Happy Holidays and frohe Weihnachten!

That's totally fine and as far as I can tell it's the truth. For that you have my upwards pointing thumbs. I mean not my actual thumbs... Just the sign.

Can't you create an Obsidian account and then claim the reward on their backer portal? You should be able to generate a steam or gog key. If not you should write to support@obsidian... or write a PM to AarikD here (Community Manager). Good luck!

1) Nonsense 2) PoE mechanics are indeed obscure and made unnecessarily complicated. 3) Right. And on the other side the complicated speed system doesn't even improve anything that much. 4) no problems here

Hearth Orlan's Minor Threat + Animal Companion: yes. Even summons and charmed enemies work afaik. Quarterstaff and Pike are especially great with Instruments of Pain because it gives you +500% range. And both weapons already have a range of 1.8 meters instead of the normal melee range (reach). So with IoP you get a range of nearly 11 meters. Attacking with all the melee goodies from 11 meters is... awesome. The Long Pain is also great, but it's considered a ranged weapon and thus doesn't work with melee-only stuff. Very high ACC can also be achieved with Monk/Ranger. Enduring Dance stacks with the Ranger ACC bonuses. Also Long Pain with Drivin Flight is great. Or dual mortars + Stunning Surge + Driving Flight. But honestly the PL8/9 stuff of monks is so good...

Amen. If Sonic is what passes for the board troll these days then we have improved by quantum leaps over the days of Krezack and his multiple personalities (and every one an a-----e) Nur Ab Sal, Yushaa, that girl that used to threaten to kill us all, whatever her name was. Sorry, I missed that phase. I didn't want to promote a ban by the way. I just explained why he would get banned - if he would get banned. Like... hypothetically.

It does. Helwalker + Bloodmage = Suicidal Spiral

It's very powerful on a Phantom because it has very high base damage, does corrode dmg, drains life for the phantom and targets Will instead of Deflection(!). Use your Wizard's Miasma of Dull Mindedness and a club + modal to drop Will completely (-65!) and let the phantom pummel away with crit after crit.

Still awesome

Dang!

Wow - that confused me somehow.

No, he would because you are the member with the most trollish posting style. That doesn't mean that I can't agree with some of your posts - but your blueprint for a thread involves writing provocative stuff in a trollish manner in order to get attention and to provoke fruitless discussion about opinions. Because of that you never take part in discussion about factual things like mechanics, rules, items, quests - anything that is tangible. You also don't give tips or advice on games. You don't do bug reports. You don't contribute useful stuff. Fair enough, nobody needs to. Having a joker can be nice as well. But whenever you start a thread there's the guarantee that it won't end very well. Given that there are many, many threads in this forums and very few of them - even the ones that criticize - get such negative reactions I wouldn't blame it on the other forum members "who just don't agree with the content of my posts". What they not only disagree with but loathe is your attitude. It's like when a guy walks into a bar and yells "Which one of you mongers wants to buy this handsome dude a drink?" and later tells the policeman who scrapes him off the street that he didn't do anything, "really - they just couldn't stand my overly handsome face I guess."
